After a lot of effort from everyone, they finally arrived at the top of the tower.
In their sight was not only a group of armed soldiers, but Wrench was also among them. It's just that at this moment, not only was her mouth sealed, but she was also being held by the neck by one of them and lifted to the broken edge of the tower. Finally, that person no longer hesitated and directly let go of his hand. And just like that, Wrench fell with tears in her eyes.
The thought of dying so miserably made the young girl's heart filled with sorrow. She clearly still had so many things she hadn't done. She hadn't even had a boyfriend, and hadn't even confessed to the person she liked! How could she just die like this!
On the verge of life and death, Wrench couldn't help but think of one person. As a shut-in hacker, the first person she had ever wanted to get close to...
Although she was very unwilling, she could only close her eyes and quietly wait for her own death. She only hoped that the moment she fell wouldn't be too painful.
Eh? Strange, why is it so soft? And so warm. Am I... being caught?!
Thinking of this, Wrench instantly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Wise's handsome face.
"Are you okay? Although I was a little late, I still made it in the end."
As he spoke, Wise landed steadily, and at the same time gently tore off the tape on her mouth. The moment he saw Wrench being thrown down, he had immediately activated Bullet Time and rushed out. In the past, he didn't fight much, so this ability was generally used for... ahem, in short, it's good that she's okay.
Wise was thinking this, but in the next second, he felt a warm and moist sensation on his lips. At the same time, his neck was also wrapped by a pair of slender little hands.
Wrench was just a young girl, after all. She had been in fear and trepidation with the criminals for so many days, and had even almost died just now. It could be said that she had no sense of security at all. And Wise appeared at this time and saved her. She already had a crush on him, and now he had given her a sense of security at a critical moment. So Wrench's favorability directly reached 95, obtaining 1000 Emotion Value.
However, the most important thing was that at this time, she still thought that this was just her own fantasy before death. After all, how could a normal video store owner like Wise possibly come into a Hollow? So, with the thought that even if it was a hallucination, she couldn't mistreat herself before she died, Wrench directly reached out her hand and began to take off Wise's clothes.
"Eh? Miss Wrench, what are you..."
Wise was about to say something, but Ellen appeared beside him at some point, and then directly reached out her hand and pulled the person off.
"Let go, understand?"
Ellen's unfriendly tone, paired with her cold expression, scared Wrench again. She subconsciously and obediently let go of her hand.
At this time, the young girl finally reacted. So all of this was not a dream, she was still alive? That's great! But why would Wise appear here?
Wrench was still a little confused in her heart, but thinking of her actions just now, her little face immediately turned red with shame. But now was not the time to be shy. Thinking of the impending crisis, she immediately grabbed Wise's shoulder in front of her and then reminded him about the matter of the airship.
And Ellen, seeing this, did not say much, just "tsked". After glancing at Wise, she then carried her scissors and went forward to meet the enemy. After all, the enemy on the other side, seeing that the hostage had been rescued, had already launched an attack on them at this time. It's just that while Ellen was rushing back, Corin and Lina had already taken care of some of the attacking enemies.
The remaining enemies, seeing that the point was tough, immediately chose to be cowardly. The few of them, seeing this, also did not choose to pursue. After all, Wrench had already been saved, and now the airship crisis was more important.
Just at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from inside the building. It was a time bomb. And because of the bomb's explosion, the structure of the Hollow changed. The original path to the rooftop had disappeared. This was clearly designed by the enemy who had just fled. And at this time, they were being proud of this. No wonder they had given up the hostage so easily. It turned out that they had already prepared a backup plan.
Belle on this side, after learning from her mouth that the shortest path had disappeared, immediately had Fairy sort out another one. The latter also immediately did as she was told upon hearing this. The new path's duration was about 7 minutes, but it was possible to encounter high-risk Ethereal individuals along the way, which was more troublesome.
But now there was no time to consider so much. The group immediately set off according to the path calculated by Fairy.
Not long after, as the group passed through another rift, they came to a hall filled with Aether corrosion. Here, there was finally only one last step left. They just needed to pass through the final spatial rift to reach the top of the building.
However, just at this moment, the诡异 music sounded again. The lights on the ceiling first dimmed for a moment, and then lit up again, illuminating the very center of the hall. The Ethereal that had been attracted by the music before was standing under the light. But it wasn't just her. Another Ethereal with the same appearance, only with a black skirt hem, was also standing there. Her sister had also come...
Waving their sharp claws, striking a dance pose, the two figures just stood there. The space in the middle of the hall was like a stage. Under the lights, they were just like when they were alive, preparing for a ballet performance.
"The legend of the tower can't be true, right? What should we do about this?" Belle felt a bit anxious at this time. After all, time was almost up.
Lycaon at the side had originally wanted to reassure her, but at this time, Wise took the lead and walked out of the team. The other members of Victoria Housekeeping, seeing this, had originally thought that he wanted to be the vanguard and were thinking of cooperating, but then Wise spoke up.
"If it's possible, can I ask you not to block us? Afterward, I can give you a brand-new music player that can withstand Aether corrosion."
Wise looked at the two Ethereal who were dancing in front of him and spoke sincerely. And the others, seeing this, expressed their confusion. They didn't understand why Wise would say this. After all, how could an Ethereal possibly understand human language? Even if these two Ethereal were attracted by music, it was a bit too...
As everyone was thinking this, before anyone could speak up to question, the two Ethereal seemed to have heard Wise's words. They stopped their dance steps, and then moved towards Wise. Ellen, seeing this, immediately rushed up with her scissors in hand, and Corin also followed closely behind.
And then, something that shocked everyone appeared. After the two Ethereal got close, they actually did not launch an attack on Wise. Instead, one on the left and one on the right, they gently placed their sharp claws on Wise's outstretched hands, as if they had agreed to his request.
The people behind them were all standing there in astonishment. But now time was tight, and there was no time to ask about these things. So after Wise turned his head to signal, everyone began to carefully approach.
